Snapshot Inventory Management with Cummulative key figures

Experts,
We are implementing the snapshot model in parallel with the Daily cube. When trying to create the update rules from 2LIS_03_BX, we get a warning message saying 2lis_03_bx is setup for noncummulatives only followed by an error stating that there are no key figures in the cube.
How do we circumvent this issue?
All thoughts appreciated!

Pls go though below link which will help you to implement snapshot Inventory " How to handle Inventory"

Snapshot scenario or non cumulative key figure in inventory management

Hi
We are currently using Inventory Management with non-cumulative key figures but we get very high performance problems due to so big number of lines in info cube.
We are analyzing the other scenario with snapshot and I am asking if it would be very realistic to use it to satisfy our requirement: to be able to get inventory management at day level for about 2 000 000 combinations article-site and about 100 000 stock movement lines per day (we are retailer!).
Is there somebody to give me advice about it?
Tanks a lot
Anne

Being a non-cumulative KF, total stock is automatically takes care of that.
Try putting all the restrictions which you have included for total receipts and total issues, for eg, restrict Total Stock with the movement types used in Receipts as well as Issues.
Check and revert.

Reports with only key figures? How to layout?

Hi anyone,
Could you kindly advise? I have a financial report which is about 20 key figures ex. Sales, Cash discounts, Revenue from operations, Gross Margin, Operating profit and Overheads % of sales...
For each of these areas I need to have 9 seperate numerical values:
Actual value (by month)
Last Year value (by month):
Budget value (by month)
Actual value ( year to date)
% of sales (ytd)
Last year value (ytd)
Budget value (ytd)
Full yr value (full yr)
Budget value (full yr)
This can lead to 20keyfiguresX9timeperiods = 180 numbers in the report. As I don't have any characteristics, it seems I'll end up with a very very long row.. Has anyone experience fixing this sort of issue?

Hi
Sorry for the earlier post for not explaining...
There are two ways you can do.
First way is meddling with the modelling....
Create 9 infoobject charecterisitcs with CHAR TYPE NUM and feed them with the key figures timeperiods thru update rule routine......Use this 9CHAR -> fed by kfs into Cube and you can use 2 structures...as far as the system is concerned you are using one structure of kf and one for chars.......
Second way...if ur using BEx you can think of Macros

Problem with restricted key-figure using off-set variable

Hello Gurus,
I have created a query in Bex Query Designer with a key figure restricted. This key figure shows me the 0amount value for the last month. When I select 003.2009, the key figure brings the 002.2009 values. I used an off-set variable to do this
It works!
But when I show this key-figure in Webi, no value shows up on the table.
Any suggestions?
tks

Which variable are you using in BEx and in WEBI to restrict the month/year?

Problem with a key figure restriction

Hi,
I have a problem with one key figure in report: in infocube, this key figure is aggrigated for all the profit centers (summation). In infocube, there is a value '150' for each profit centers (100 pieces) and in the report it is counting 150*100=15000. However, it shouldn't count the sum of all entries in the infocube but show only one value in the report which would be '150'.
I think this should be possible to do but I just don't know how. Hope somebody is able to help me. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
If the values are same for all profit center then change the Profit center infoobject property in the query design to show the maximum values for the 'calculation result as' parameter

Computing 2 cummulated key figures

Hi All,
We receive a requirement to develop a report that would able to compute 2 cummulated key figures in BW. I was informed this was not able to be done in the normal BeX query formula as the cummulative values are computed during query execution.
Example:
Usages   Loss/Gain       %LOSS/GAIN (=SUM(Usages)*100/SUM(Loss/Gain))
is there a way to do this in BeX or must this be done during back-end execution.

Thanks Suman - but i think BeX is not able to handle 2 cummulated key figure values and calculate them in a formula correctly:
The % Tol - is picking up cummulated values from Usages and Daily Gain/Loss - only way i can think of is to store this in the cube.
Usages     % Tol     Daily Gain/Loss
25,713     372             95,666
32,584     -64.52     -133,278
31,302     0.35              37,924
29,915     0.56              362

Inventory management with SnapShots

Hi
I've got this document, "How to handle inventory management scenarios in BW".
It's generally very clear, no problem to understand the standard solution (0IC_C03, non-cumulatives).
But I really didn't understand the explanation about Snapshot on the monthly positions.
So I ask someone to explain how does the concept work.
Example:
The document refers to material movements in 01.2004 and 03.2004.
Question 1:
What are the values posted to the DSO and to the InfoCube after initial load (after the first load of datasources BX and BF/UM) ???
Will we have registers to 01.2004, 02.2004, 03.2004 and 12.9999, both in the DSO and in the InfoCube ?
How does month 12.9999 work?
Question 2:
What are the values posted to the DSO and to the InfoCube after the second BF load?
Let's suppose 2 movements in 04.2004 and 2 movements in 05.2004.
Will we add registers to 04.2004 and 05.2004 both in the DSO and in the Cube?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Cesar,
Not sure if this could be helpful.. but still sharing..

As even I want to understand differences between 2 methods.. Snapshot and 0IC_C03 (non cumulative)
Could you find any leads?

Storing Cummulated key figures in cube

Hi,
Can someone share on how to store cumulative key figure ? We have an Inbound and Staging layer that stores the inventory movements quantity. The staging layer contains material document and material item. At the reporting layer we need to be able to use the movement quantity and cummulate them by posting period. can someone share your thoughts on how this is coded with some performance considerations and delta. Is there an easy way to implement this in 3.X ?
I.e.
Material | Plant | Calendar Day | Quantity | Cummulated
A | XYZ | 01.01.2011 | 10 | 10
A | XYZ | 12.01.2011| 5 | 15
B | XYZ | 12.01.2011| 40 | 40
A | BBB | 13.01.2011 | 6 | 6

if youre staging is a dso then you are in luck. you could create a transformaiton routine to read the active dso table, find the key and read all the quantity on it and then store the quanity in the new infoobject result..
it should wok with delta.. unless somebody else comes up with a better idea..
or you could do it in CMOD before you bring it in BW system, makes it run even faster..
if your main object is a structure i could send u some code that help you figure it out..

Cummulative key figures

Hi experts. please explain me what are cummulative KFs and how to use them?
regards
rajesh

Dear Rajesh
Flow/non-cumulative value
You can select the key figure as a cumulative value. Values for this key figure have to be posted in each time unit, for which values for this key figure are to be reported.
Non-cumulative with non-cumulative change
The key figure is a non-cumulative. You have to enter a key figure that represents the non-cumulative change of the non-cumulative value. There do not have to be values for this key figure in every time unit. For the non-cumulative key figure, values are only stored for selected times (markers). The values for the remaining times are calculated from the value in a marker and the intermediary non-cumulative changes.
Non-Cumulative with inflow and outflow
The key figure is a non-cumulative. You have to specify two key figures that represent the inflow and outflow of a non-cumulative value.
Note
For non-cumulatives with non-cumulative change, or inflow and outflow, the two key figures themselves are not allowed to be non-cumulative values, but must represent cumulative values. They must be the same type (for example, amount, and quantity) as the non-cumulative value.
Aggregation Behavior of Non- Cumulative Key Figures Locate the document in its SAP Library structure
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/80/1a62f8e07211d2acb80000e829fbfe/content.htm
The non-cumulative key figures are used in the Inventory cube.

Query problem with accumulated key figures

Hi BI Gurus!
I have a report problem that I hope you can help me with!
In my report I have 2 key figures. One for accumulated revenue previous year (KF1) and one for accumulated revenue current year (KF2). Both key figures should be presented in a graph in monthly buckets.
January figures from both the key figures shoule be presented in the same bucket. Therfore I can't use 0CALYEAR since we have the "year" information in there. Instead I'm using 0CALMONTH2 which is only two digits, 01 for January. That way I can map figures from both previous year and current year in the same bucket.
I need the figures to be accumulated and this is what I have problem with. When I run the report today in February 2010 it looks like this:
Month   KF1   KF2
01        10     15
02        10     20
03        15
04        10
05        20
06        10
07        10
08        15
09        15
10        20
11        20
12        10
This is how I would like the report to look like:
Month   KF1   KF2
01        10     15
02        20     35
03        35
04        45
05        65
06        75
07        85
08        100
09        115
10        135
11        155
12        165
I have tried to use the setting "accumulated" for the key figures but then I get this result:
Month   KF1   KF2
01        10     15
02        20     35
03        35     35
04        45     35
05        65     35
06        75     35
07        85     35
08        100   35
09        115   35
10        135   35
11        155   35
12        165   35
Since the KF2 is revenue for current year and I run the report in February I don't want any figures to be displayed in Mars...
I have tried to restrict the key figures by 0CALMONTH2 and 0CALYEAR. The KF1 is havein a restriction to only show values for 0CALYEAR - 1 and an interval for 0CALMONTH2 from JAN - DEC.
The KF2 is having a restriction to only show values in the interval "first month in year - current month" (in this example JAN - FEB) for 0CALMONTH2. And current year for 0CALYEAR.
Despite my restrictions for KF2 the numpers repeats itself for every month...
Any suggestion how I can resolve this?
Best regards
Anders Florin

Hi Khaled and thank you for trying to help me!
I agree with you and think the users should accept the report as it is. But they are claiming that top management will not accept this and they would really want this to be fixed the whay that they want. I have tried to push back on this and said that I'm not sure that it can be resoleved and that it could cost them a lot of money if I try.
But I will try to resolve it for them if I have spare time in the end of the project. I have not promised them anything but it would really be nice if I could fix it.
So when you say I need to use a structure and a calculated key figure. How should the calculated key figure and the structure be configured?
If I use a structure in the rows I guess I can't use same object in calc.key.figure right? Like if I use 0CALMONTH2 in the structure I'm not able to restrict the key figure with the same object? If that is correct I also have a ZMONTH object, different story why I have that... , that I can use in the same way as 0CALMONTH2. Or is this only a problem when I use "local" formulas within the query and not using a "global" calculated key figure? Cause I have only used the "loacal" formula calculated key figure in this report....

Problem with Restricted Key Figures Please Solve

Dear All.
i restrict the key figure on some GL's for Cumulative balance, this RKF show me the result base on the 0CALMONTH which is select in the variable screen.
i created one more RKF with the same GL's but i restrict that RKF also with fix 0Calmonth say DEC2008.
but the problem is when i run the report it shows me that data correct, but when i bring the 0CALMONTH on top of the Key Figure structure it only show me the data for selected month for the fix month RKF the result come empty.
my requirement is that i have to select month range and i need to show every month value minus the Dec2008 value, this only works if i donot bring the 0CALMONTH on top of Key figure structure but i want to keep it on the top of KF structure so i can show each month value - dec2008 value.
Please explain how can i control this.
Kind regards,

Dear Chandu.
I am creating the RKF on Cummulative Balance KF by restricting it with some combinations of GL's, let say the name of RKF is TRADE_Accounts.
My requirement is to give Calmonth selection from the variable in interval let say from 01.2009 - 05.2009
i simply want to display TRADE_Account balance for each month in selection but by doing the minus the value of Trade_Account from the same RKF i.e. TRADE_Account_2 which i restrict on DEC2008.
so i created Two RKF for KF cummulative balance one is restricted with 0CALMONTH value for DEC2008 only.
then i create on CKF let TRADE_BALANCE = TRADE_Account2008 - TRADE_Account.
and place the CKF in Key Figure Structure, it work fine but problem comes when i try to bring 0CALMonth on top of key figure structure so i can show the result for each selected month.
when i do this it only shows the Balance for selected months but it did not minus it with the other RKF i.e. TRADE_Account2008.
when for testing i also put the TRADE_Account2008 in Key figure structure it shows empty result when the 0CALMONTH is on top of the Key figure structure.
Please explain how can i achieve this.
Kind regards,

Time Buckets with multiple Key Figures in Each

Hello Experts,
I have seen documents creation of ageing buckets and calculations but not seen any document with ageing bucket having multiple Key Figures part of it.
User's have used Excel to create Bucket header and using V and H lookups they are populating data in to those columns. Is there a way we can achieve this in Bex Designer? Below is what needed on report which would give user's overview of Current Week, Previous Week, Last 4 weeks and Last 13 weeks. I have attached Snapshot for better Understanding
From Excel--->

Hi Sam
If week is your time period analysis then create a structure in columns, above your key figures, based on week selections variable.

I don't think that you will find such a document.

Problem with displaying key figures in report

Does anyone have experience with SAP Report Designer for Release 7.0. I want to display key figures in the following manner: 1'500 (Which means 1.500.000) For a billion the value displaye should be 1''000 (1.000.000.000).
1000 =     1.000
0'010 =     10.000
0'100 =     100.000
1'000 =     1.000.000
0''010 =     10.000.000
0''100 =     100.000.000
1''000 =     1.000.000.000
Thus the report always shows 4 digit figures. The problem is that I don't know how to include the apostophe as a separator for the million.
Additionaly to that I want to have the font changed to a smaller number, if the figure is to large for the column. Is there a possibity to change the display of the figure with the scaling? And is there a possibility to change the font? These two parameters have to be decided when running the report. (The scale of the numbers can differ within one column.)

there is two way to display the values , one is globally, where u do it the keyfigure and another way is on the query designer level
in keyfigure go to aggregation , there u will get the number display format , u can change there and another way is in the query designer right click on the key figure and select properties and select display format

Problem with virtual Key Figure in a query

Hi Experts,
I would like to share my problem with the virtual key figure in a query:
I have a query with a virtual key figure and when I eject the query by analyzer, the result sometimes is displayed and sometimes is not displayed (is equal to 0), with the same initials values. And when I eject the query by RSRT always display the result for the virtual key figure.
Why don't always display the result?
Thanks a lot

Inventory Management with u0091Material Document No.u0092 and u0091Purchase order No.'

Hello,
We have defined Inventory Management InfoCube analog to 0IC_C03 without Material Document No. (R3 Field MBLNR) and Purchase order number (R3 Field EBELN). We are loading the data from standard extractor 2LIS_03_BX, 2LIS_03_BF and 2LIS_03_UM. It works fine. We have alreday read the whitepaper Inventory Scenarios in BW.
Question:
Now the Material Document No. and Purchase order number have to report in BEx. As ODS can not be built in Inventory Management, so we cant include these fields in ODS and update data from ODS into another InfoCube with Document No. or order number.
We dont want to include these fields Document No. and Order number. in existing InfoCube because of performance reason.
Could you tell me how we can implement such a scenario?
Thanks for the answer.
Best regards,
Moha

hi Moha,
perhaps check
Note 581778 - ODS capability of extractors from Inventory Management
Note 773823 - P25:ODS objects cannot be loaded with opening stock
hope this helps.
